Joining Impact under the new group are Invicta Fighting Championships and Fight Network.

Meanwhile, Impact EVP Scott D’Amore has been promoted to President of Impact Wrestling and will be reporting directly to Schaefer.

“Scott has established himself as the leader of IMPACT Wrestling since joining us in 2018, re-establishing the promotion as one of the finest professional wrestling promotions in the world,” said Ed Nordholm, Chief Corporate Officer of Anthem.

Another name who is well known in the business, former WWE and Cirque du Soleil executive Lou D’Angeli, has also joined Anthem Sports Group as Vice President of Marketing. In this role, D’Angeli is overseeing all aspects of marketing, advertising, promotion, and public relations for ASG.
